The quarter is coming to an end, and we will begin the department store / amazon quarter soon. Since I can definitely spend $1,500 on gas per quarter, but don't know if I would utilize the department stores I have a question.

Can I use my Chase Freedom to load some sort of prepaid debit card through amazon that I would then use to purchase gas with?

That way I can max out my $1,500 for the quarter through amazon and get 5%.

Also, lets just say for instance I need to buy a christmas present for my girlfriend from Macy's. And it just so happens Macy's is on the Chase Ultimate Rewards mall and gives 5 extra points / dollar spent through the UR mall. Do I get the 5 extra points / dollar plus the 5% category spend if I haven't maxed it out?

Yes. Keep in mind that some places will reject use of a credit card because of the amount of scamming that goes on with prepaids. But, just go to local CVS, Walgreens, grocery store, etc and try it on your own. If one store is anal, go to the next one. All depends on the morons who work there.

I don't think any of those stores are on the "select department stores" list for the Chase Freedom 4th quarter. I think it's just

Looks like you can register to get the card online on Amazon, but you won't be able to load it online through Amazon with a credit card. You're just basically applying for the prepaid card and it says in the bottom when the permanent card arrives, it will come with 0 balance until loaded WITH CASH in select retail locations.
